/ This fittingly describes the vast
crowd of Democrats who, lat kexing-

The absorbing topic of last week
was the order Of President Cleveland
to return to such States as desired
the flags captured during the late
war to the loyal States, the Union
flags captured by the Confederates
and afterward recovered BY the
Government forcesj and TO the
Confederate States the flags cap.
ltured by The Union forces, All
these flags have for many years
been packed IN boxes and stored in
Ethe cellar and attic Of the War De-
APARTMENT. The order was really
made By Secretary Endicott, the
the President having, without much
consideration Of the subject, given
him power to act in the matter as
he thought proper.
Mr.. Endicott was enthused on the
subject by Adjutant General Drum,
"a Republican, who is the originator
of the idea.
After the, order had been an
inounced, protests poured in upon
the President in such a manner
that he took the matter into careful
consideration, and revoked the or
der.
The order gave Commander-in-
chief Fairchild, an opportunity to
parade his indiscretion and lack OF
common sense Upon hearing of
the action ofthe President, he said !;
"May God palsy the hand that wrote
the order. May God palsy the
brain that conceived it, and may
God palsy the tongue that dictated
it."

FLOWERS FOR GRADUATES.
The High Schools commencement at
Hunter Hall To-Day.


There was a regular run on the florists
for awhile yesterday, and the way that
bouquets and baskets of flowers were or
dered fairly startled the unsuspecting fori-
culturists. One of them said last night
that he had orders for flowers enough to make
Hunter Hall look like flower show. He sup
posed of course that they are intended for the
pretty graduates who viii grace the stage
to-day, as they were ordered chiefly by
Young men who did not spare their pocket
books, and each one wanted his bouquet
made of choicest flowers and got up prettier
than somebody's else. The florists say that
they have sold more commencement bou-
Duets this year than ever before.
The High School graduation exercises will
begin at $50 O'Clock this morning. The
entrance to Hunter Hall is from Bull street
through the main hall way of the new build
ing. The stage has been arranged for the
principals of the schools, the members of
the school board and the graduates The
rest of the hall will be given up to the
friends of the class.
The programme, including the honor
pupils and the essayists, has already been
published in the MORNING NEWS. There
are twenty-one essays to be read, beside the
salutatory the valedictories, the class his
tory, and the Arnold Society Grafton, so
that with these and the address
to the graduates, which will
bn delivered by Rev Dr. Bowman, of the
Evangelical Lutheran church, the exer-
cises will be rather lengthy. In order that
all OF the graduates might read, the essays
were made short. The award of the diplo-
mas is about the last thing on the pro
gramme, and that will be by Col. George
A. Mercer, President of the Board of EdI-
cation

Attempt to Rob the Safe of I. D. La
Roche'S Sons

An unsuccessful attempt to rob the safe of
H. d. LaRoches Sons, commission mer-
chants, No. 16s Bay street, was made some
| time during Wednesday night or early yes
terday morning. When Mr.. LaRoche came
down town few minutes before o'clock
he found the store doors Open The firms
Office is on the river side of the building.
The glass door between the wareroorn and
office was open, and on the office floor were
| piled the drawers from the bookkeeper's desk
The safe was unlocked, and at first glance
| it showed no signs of having been tempered
with 1t is an old-fashioned Herring, and
the lock was easily opened. Inside is a
! small steel vault, in which the cash is kept
The marks of chisel were on the steel. A
key was inserted in the lock- but it would
not turn, and locksmith was sent for to
open it,
The attempt to get into the safe was
bunglingly made, and was evidently not
the work of professional cracksmen.
that it took considerable time to get
| the cash vault open at all In it
were about $500 and three gold watches.
| This was what the craftsmen were after.
! Failing to secure it they went through the
| bookkeeper's desk, rifiing the drawers of
whatever, there was OF any value: They
| secured a box or two of cigars, G couple of re-
volvers and some postage stamps. As they
went out through The wareroom they picked
up and carried off three caddies Of tobacco
| The value of the property taken did not ex-
ceed $25.
| Entrance to the store was affected by
means of sharp wedge inserted between
| the heavy doors which were pl'ied open until
| the bolt Slid out of IFS socket A half burned
candle was found on the floor in front of the
| safe The craftsmen carried their tools
away with them and left nothing by which
clue could be obtained. Mr. LaRoche
said TO MORNING NEWS re-
| porter that he does not suspect any one con-
nected with the place of being implicated
in the affair The firm collected a con-
siderable amount of money after banking
| hours on Wednesday, but did not leave it in
| the safe. 1t is supposed that the fact of the
firm having several thousand dollars on
| hand after banking hours and the likelihood
that it would be deposited in the safe in
| duced the craftsmen to attempt the job.
Mr.. LaRoche is of the opinion that the
place was broken into either late Wednes-
! day night or early yesterday morning, and
| that the robbers were frightened away.
